Verse 1
(A minor) (F major)
(Csus2) Oh,
(G major) af ter morning there (F major) comes the even (C major) ing
And (F major) after evening an (D minor) other (C major) day (Csus2)
(C major) An (F major) d (G major) after old (C major) love,
there (G major) comes the new (A minor) love
It is (F major) hard to keep those that
will not (D minor) stay (Dsus4)
(G major) My love, he is the (F major) finest young (G major) man
That (F major) ever nature framed,
(G major) oh sunshine (Csus2) on
(C major) But (F major) how to (G major) save (C major) him,
I do (G major) not know yet, (A minor)
(F major) For he is sentenced, or to be (D minor) hanged. (Csus2)
(G major) So come, (Csus2) winds, (C major) blow (G major) the clouds (F major) away
And (D minor) hail, hail, (G major) hail the brighter day (A minor) (F major)
(G major) As (Csus2) (G major) he marched out
through the (F major) streets of Derry
(Csus2) I (C major) am (F major) sure he marched
up (D minor) right and (G major) manly
(C major) Be ing (F major) much (G major) more like some
(C major) command (G major) ing officer
(A minor) Than (F major) one to hang upon a gallows (Dsus4) tree
(G major) At the very first step he
(F major) put on the (G major) gallows
His (F major) blooming colour began (G major) to fade
(C major) With bitter (G major) sighing an (F major) d tender (G major) crying
(A minor) Is there (F major) no releasement from Derry (Dsus4) jail?
(G major) So calm the wind, blow (C major) the (G major) clouds (F major) away
And (D minor) tell hail, (G major) hail the brighter (A minor) day (F major)
(G major) Where is my love?
She (F major) is so long a (G major) -coming
And (F major) what detains her (D minor) so (G major) long from me?
(C major) Or (F major) does she (G major) think it's
(C major) some shame (G major) or scandal
(A minor) For (F major) to see me hang (D minor) upon the gallows tree?
(G major) Well he looked around
and he saw (C major) her coming
(G major) As (C major) (F major) she rode (D minor) faster than (C major) the wind
Stand (F major) back, (G major) stand back,
you false (C major) prosec (G major) utors
(A minor) For I (F major) bear releasement
(D minor) all (G major) from the King
Well, I made them see
that (F major) they may not hand (D minor) you
And (F major) I'll crown my love all
(D minor) with a gown (Dsus4) of green (Csus2)
(G major) So (C major) come, wind, blow the (G major) cloud (F major) s away
And (D minor) hail, hail, (G major) hail the brighter day (A minor)
So (G major) come, winds, blow the clouds away
(F major) And (C major) (D minor) hail, hail, (G major) hail the brighter (F major) day
So (G major) calm wind, blow the clouds away (F major)
And (D minor) hail, hail, hail (G major) a brighter day (A minor)
(F major) And hail, hail, (G major) hail, a brighter day.
Hail a Brighter Day
